Discussion

I'm always disappointed to see this forum so barren of posts and discussion, especially considering the exciting nature of its subject matter. There are so many interesting things; I was hoping this topic could act as a launching pad and generate some talk. I’m currently an aspiring theoretical physicist, more specially, an undergraduate physics and math major. I’d love to try to answer any questions anyone can think of concerning theoretical physics or physics in general. Hopefully this will invigorate this forum’s activity. So if anyone has anything they wanted to ask about or simply discuss, please post! I’ll try my best to provide an answer!

What is it?

"It" - Pronoun

1. Used to refer to that one previously mentioned. Used of a nonhuman entity; an animate being whose sex is unspecified, unknown, or irrelevant; a group of objects or individuals; an action; or an abstraction: polished the table until it shone; couldn't find out who it was; opened the meeting by calling it to order.

2. Used as the subject of an impersonal verb: It is snowing.

3. a) Used as an anticipatory subject or object: Is it certain that they will win?
b) Used as an anticipatory subject to emphasize a term that is not itself a subject: It was on Friday that all the snow fell.

4. Used to refer to a general condition or state of affairs: She couldn't stand it.

5. Used to refer to a crucial situation or culmination: This is itthe rivals are finally face to face. That's it! I won't tolerate any more foolishness.

6. Informal: Used to refer to something that is the best, the most desirable, or without equal: He thinks he's it. That steak was really it!

"It" is a word with many uses. I was hoping for a less insipid question however...

Well.

Thank you.

What is 'Theoretical Physics' and what exactly do you do?

I thought that much was obvious in my question, but hey...

Much of this interest is covered simply without a special forum for it.
